Eric Gordon is out indefinitely for the New Orleans Hornets as he continues to deal with right knee soreness, coach Monty Williams announced on Wednesday.

"The way I understand it, he's going to be out indefinitely until we get some more clarity on what's going on so I don't have to answer these questions every day and give you guys the update. We'll just go from there," Williams told NOLA.com.

Rookie guard Austin Rivers, the Hornets' No. 10 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, will get the start in place of Gordon. The game will also mark the regular-season debut of No. 1 overall pick, Anthony Davis.
